If you guys are curious about these announcements I'll be recapping them and going into more detail on twitch.tv/aws at 12:30 pacific

Huh? Isn't Twitch just for gaming content?

[tyleraldrich]

What others have said is true, and also note that Amazon bought Twitch 2 years ago, so I'm sure Amazon can run their own product announcements through Twitch if they want :)

EDIT: updated when amazon bought twitch, woops

[frikk]

Nope. Twitch is excellent for all kinds of live content.

https://www.twitch.tv/p/rules-of-conduct

"All content that is neither gaming-related nor permitted under the rules for Twitch Creative Conduct is prohibited from broadcast."

I've seen many people programming on Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/Creative/programming

While its mainly Game dev or game dev related its not limited to game dev stuff. From their FAQ https://help.twitch.tv/customer/portal/articles/2176641

  Examples of what you can broadcast on Twitch Creative:
  ...
  Programming and coding  
  Software and game development  
  Web development

EDIT: It seems that re:invent is being streamed on twitch anyway.

[brian-armstrong]

This is a product announcement, though

[Crosseye_Jack]

And Twitch have had TV Shows streamed on it in the past https://www.twitch.tv/whoismrrobot

My guess that was a sponsored deal or something. But as my edit from before it seems that re:invent is being streamed on Twitch anyway so guessing its all above board (and as others have said Amazon owns Twitch).

Amazon might just let Amazon talking about their products slide ;)

[res0nat0r]

I'm guessing it is covered under the Twitch Creative Conduct, since there is an entire Creative category now that is getting more popular which involves people painting, cosplay, digital art, etc.

What's the cost?
